The Gentrifier

Someone is “disappearing” citizens from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Some of the missing are criminals and homeless. Many others are plain working folks. Buildings are emptying. Families live in fear. The streets are deserted after dark. The police will not investigate hundreds of missing-person reports because the powerful and popular mayor has taken credit for a drop in homelessness and street crime during his re-election year. The media won’t cover “urban legend.” Some suspect white supremacist groups. A cocaine-kingpin- turned-neighborhood activist and an attractive young journalist must solve this mystery before more innocent men, women, and children vanish.
